Just One Word!

Aoba opened [Hardening]'s right fist and fiercely punched at Itachi's chest with the force of a thousand catties!

At this time, in order to maintain balance, Itachi lowered his hands and opened the middle road. There was no protection for his heart.

If he was facing an enemy, he would die if his heart was hit by this punch!

However, Aoba held back at this time. He did not aim at Itachi's heart but aimed at his chest.

With this punch, Aoba was confident that he could break a few of Itachi's bones and win this duel!

But at this critical moment, Itachi finally calmed down. Sharingan showed signs of starting. However, he immediately suppressed it.

Because once he used Sharingan, it meant that he lost this duel!

He could lose, but he could not lose in this way!

Therefore, he no longer tried to maintain his balance with his hands and then borrowed the momentum to escape. Instead, at the last moment, he chose to cross his arms in front of his chest and forcibly block this punch!

Bang!

Itachi was like a kite with a broken string. Before he landed, he was sent flying by Aoba's fierce punch. He slid on the ground for more than ten meters before he barely stopped!

Just as Aoba was about to give chase, he was forced back by the sudden dozen or so swords in his hands.

Physical arts naturally included using weapons. This was not considered a foul.

Aoba, whose momentum had been interrupted, no longer pursued forcefully. Instead, he stood in place and watched the somewhat miserable Itachi crawl up from the ground.

Itachi felt the injuries he had suffered and found that the power of that punch just now was completely beyond his expectations.

At this time, his left forearm, which was blocking the outermost part, was completely swollen and numb from the hit. He even lost consciousness. Although he had his sleeve to block it, he could not recover in a short time.

In addition, his right arm and chest were all faintly aching.

If he had not chosen to block it with his arms just now, that punch would have been enough to make him lose his fighting strength!

However...

That opportunity just now would no longer exist!

The three kunais in his hands were instantly caught between the fingers of his right hand!

Itachi, who had already completely calmed down, finally became serious

At the same time, Aoba, who was staring at Itachi, did not become careless and arrogant because of a single strike. He was very clear about his own strength.

The battle he had set up could be said to be a complete display of strength, and it was extremely unfair to Itachi who was unable to display his true strength.

However, without these restrictions, it was impossible for him to be qualified to stand in front of Itachi or even obtain such a result.

Therefore, there was nothing to be proud of. Even if he had to face the super weakened and injured version of Itachi, he had to go all out.

Thus, he took the lead in attacking, fiercely stepping on the ground, borrowing this explosive force to quickly approach Itachi.

Itachi, who had taken out the kunai in his hand, had undoubtedly become serious.

Although Aoba could forcefully resist it through [Hardening], if he could not close the distance in time to engage in close combat, the one who would lose in the end might be him!

What Aoba had imagined was right…. The moment he started, Itachi quickly threw out the kunai in his hand with only one hand. Moreover, it was wave after wave, as if there was no end to it!

Moreover, each kunai in his hand seemed to be disorderly and disorderly, but it was always able to seal his path forward or dodge.

What made Aoba even more troubled was the kunais in his hands. After chasing or colliding with each other, the trajectory of their flight was fast and strange, and it was impossible to determine whether they would fall to the ground.

When Aoba was forced to stop, the swords in his hands seemed to be equipped with navigation, and they completely surrounded him.

There was nowhere to hide!

He could not avoid it at all!

At this time, Itachi held three more kunai in his right hand, but it was not used to add insult to injury.

It was used to save Aoba.

Because in Itachi's view, he had completely sealed all the space. Other than resisting this road, Aoba could no longer resist.

But at this moment, Aoba, who understood Itachi's thoughts through his eyes, shouted, "Don't look down on me, you bastard!"

Itachi, who was about to help, shook his hand. The kunai in his hand was unable to move, and there was no need to make a move anymore.

Because Aoba had already been drowned by the kunai in the sky

Itachi's heart tightened at first, but everything in front of him shocked him.

"[Hardening], activate all of them!"

With a furious roar, the Level 3 [Hardening] who had fully activated completely gave up on dodging. Relying on the hard horn defense on the surface of his body, he was like a bull, forcibly rushing out from the sword formation in his hand!

Countless kunai struck his body, producing a crisp sound, and then instantly bounced back!

Although there were countless white marks left on his body, Aoba smoothly arrived in front of Itachi who seemed to be in a daze without any injuries.

Looking at the surprised Itachi, Aoba couldn't help but reveal his white teeth at him. Then, like a little monster, he maintained this state and attacked him!

Whether or not [Hardening] was included in the scope of his physical skills, he didn't know, and he didn't care!

Anyway, he didn't say that he could not use it!

Shameless was a bit shameless, but if he could wake Itachi up, he wouldn't care at all.

Fortunately, Itachi didn't entangle this point. In the face of Aoba's powerful attack, he, whose arm was already injured, chose to fight and retreat, never going head-on!

Because everything before showed that Aoba was in a special state of strengthening. Even the high-speed flying hand sword couldn't break his defense, and he, who only took out a hand kunai, was naturally not strong.

Moreover, in this special state, he found that Aoba's strength also increased a lot, which undoubtedly strengthened his strategy of flying kites. He firmly believed that this special state could not be maintained for a long time. Otherwise, the other party would not have used it at such a critical moment.

The result Itachi obtained through observation was undoubtedly correct.

Right now, Aoba could not maintain this state for too long, so he chose to end the battle quickly!

Windmill!

Aoba instantly turned around in the air, his movements filled with a rough sense of beauty.

But in the next moment, Itachi, who seemed to be ready to meet the attack head-on with his cross arm, nimbly avoided his powerful kick with an iron bridge.

The wind pressure that was brought up directly swept across Itachi's face

Itachi immediately slapped the ground with a calm expression, and heavily punched Aoba in the face. Then, he took advantage of the momentum to press down his elbow, directly smashing Aoba, who was in the air, to the ground!

The last kick sent him flying from the ground!

However, this seemingly smooth and natural attack did not bring about a relative effect.

There was no other reason. The current Aoba was too hard!

Every attack Itachi made on his body was like hitting a hard stone. And for some reason, there was a rebound force that hurt him.
